Default Re: A newbies guide to disaster

For a start dont take off pups during fruiting, its not always a problem but I dont recommend it especialyl since that seems to be when your problem started. A pole type of device placed under the stem of the bunch is a good way to stake the bunch to prevent it from toppling.
